Installing on Raspberry Pi

The recommended version of Raspberry Pi is Raspberry Pi 4. The setup below assumes you have a fresh installation of Raspbian/Ubuntu and you can connect to the board with SSH:

ssh [email protected]

Where x.x.x.x is the IP address of your Pi in your local network.

Installing java

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk
java -version

Java troubleshooting.

If you have problem running multiple java versions, or getting errors like that:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Server VM is only supported on ARMv7+ VFP

run

sudo update-alternatives --config java

and manually select java 11

Update + upgrade Raspbian

It's a good practice to update and upgrade the libraries of Raspberry Pi before continuing.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Install npm

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v16.13.1/node-v16.13.1-linux-armv7l.tar.xz
tar -xvf node-v16.13.1-linux-armv7l.tar.xz
rm -rf node-v16.13.1-linux-armv7l.tar.xz
sudo cp -r node-v16.13.1-linux-armv7l/{bin,include,lib,share} /usr/
rm -rf node-v16.13.1-linux-armv7l
node --version

Getting sources

I'm proposing to run this script from "/home/pi" (that's the easiest way to install AE)

git clone https://github.com/tomaszbabiuk/automate-everything.git

Building from sources

"Automate Everything" needs gradle and npm to build. The most usable scripts and gradle tasks are: Run all the commands from the main directory of the project.

  • For building the frontend (user interface):
cd automate-everything
npm install --prefix ae-frontend
npm run build --prefix ae-frontend
  • For building the backend (the automation server + plugins):
./gradlew :ae-backend:assembleBackend
  • For (re)building plugins only:
./gradlew :plugins:assemblePlugins

Directory structure

After building, the directory structure should look like this:

output
    |- bin
    |   - ae-backend-all.jar
    |- plugins
    |   - plugin1.jar
    |   - plugin2.jar
    |   - enabled.txt
    | - web
    |   - css
    |       - app.*.css
    |       - chunk-vendors.*.css
    |   - js
    |       - app.*.js
    |       - app.*.js.map
    |       - chunk-vendors.*.js
    |       - chunk-vendors.*.js.map
    |   - media
    |       - (all media files required by blockly)
    |   - favicon.ico
    |   - index.html

Running

  • To run the server run:
cd output
java -jar bin/ae-backend-all.jar
  • or in debug mode:
cd output
java -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.defaultLogLevel=debug -jar bin/ae-backend-all.jar

After starting, open http://localhost in your browser

Running in slow mode (for UI testing purpose)

When using this option, all requests are going to be delayed for 5 seconds (good for UI testing).

cd output
java -jar bin/ae-backend-all.jar -slow

After starting, open http://localhost in your browser
